A great visit!! - We made a 45min visit with Gerard who welcomed us with open arms to visit his MysteryHouse. He built everything with his hands and is a real enthusiast so we had a great time. It starts with optical illusions, then by visiting his house leaning with different viewpoints where he takes pictures of us then it ends with very fun games / puzzles / optical illusions. Gerard even gives us the secrets of his tricks! A very long time ago that I recommend you with your eyes closed.

Funny, confusing and very friendly - It's a change from what you can find in the offers in Polynesia. We were with family and the children loved it too! Gérard, who gives us the tour, is very funny and puts his whole heart into it :-) I won't say more to leave you with all the surprises, go ahead!!!

Surprising and educational - Gerard is quite a person, he alone deserves the detour.he created with his hands all his illusions, his sleight of hand and above all this weird house leaning. Make 1 stop you will not waste your time and for children it will be a beautiful discovery.
